I've been thinking about what my next few mods on the tC, and they are as follows:

Ijen Cold Air Intake
Exhaust System, probably the TRD
New Rims
Some small cosmetic things on the interior

My question is, what is a reasonable price to pay for the CAI and the exhaust? The CAI labor I can do at home, but the exhaust will more than likely have to be done by a pro. Any thoughts on what I SHOULD pay versus what I COULD pay?

I've looked around on the boards here, but there are so many numbers everywhere....

 

actually, you can do the exhaust yourself, too. It's probably easier than the intake because there's less stuff in the way. You just need a jack and jackstands (which I'm sure you could borrow from me or any of a couple dozen others if you don't have them)

 

I would suggest going with a Strupt Exhaust......it sounds nice on the tC..... Koolaid has it on his and Chad (Rockblocker) is a dealer for Strupt.

Now for the intake....I have no idea what tell you to go with there and how much it should cost. the best thing you could do is call around and see the best price that you can get and go from there.

 

the exhaust is a 5 minute job. very easy.

 

if you can do the CAI, i am sure you can do the bolt on exhaust.

 

Both should be pretty easy to install

I have the trd on mine and its decent. Its more for sound then it is performance. Im looking into the new greddy ti-c exhaust with a injen CAI.
